I know what you're implying and you are absolutely.......right.

<----me at the switch.

Well, I'm sure everyone's still excited with the news of this release but they're not over-hyping it because they don't want to be disappointed. I can understand that; although personally, I would still be enthusiastic for any of her releases even with that risk. >_< I think the excitement of your favorite artist's release one of the best feelings of being a fan. <3

1. Oiran?!
2. Blah
3. Mirrorball

Ehh, I think this single will have all new songs, save for the new cover. I don't think she'd use "Oiran" again in another album (or single) and I don't think she'd put "Mirrorball" in as a cover, either.

[Op2]

Haha --no way.
You heard it here first, the cover will be some Western pop-culture smash hit from the 50s that no American in the 21st century has heard of.

[badtzmaru]

I hope it is. o_o I really enjoyed "Koi wa Moboroshi." ...Or were you talking about another song?

[frecklegirl]

Wait, what cover? There was no mention of any definite cover song. o_o

Just that all the songs would be new. So you can put all your "omg it's gonna be Oiran/Mirrorball" theorizing to rest.

[Lena-chan]

every time I come to this thread it's increased +2 pages O_O
I believe in a TJ version of oiran and a other version for mirrorball...
but not in a single (well, maybe mirrorball)
and a TJ single isn't a TJ single without a oldie cover
and TJ new album it will be titled "Oldness"(and it'll be 70's like),
next will be "death"(and will have "hell" and "heaven" versions, and it'll be metal),
after it "Zombie"(and sadly it'll be EMO/punk, and this will make TJ fall)
and finally after it "Ressurection"(ooh, this will be very good, like all the good old SR reinvented on a new SR, and will be the most sucessful album on the history of the japanese music)
XDDDDDDD

[badtzmaru]

I'm glad that's settled, then.

But, I thought the second song on the single would be a cover and the third, a slow song to follow the tradition of the previous 3 singles. Well, I hope it'll still be the same structure because I like that format. >_<

Lena-chan, you always come up with the best ideas!! >_<

[frecklegirl]

Oh yah, I forgot about that tradition. You're right, there will be some cover, most likely. Off to the "What song you want Ringo to cover" thread to speculate XD

[newyorkjihen]

Good news. Thanks for the update.

It depends on what side of the fence you are on. I personally like TJ and SR's new stuff so I am excited about the new single in a positive way because of that. Not because I am a blind fan that will just mindlessly support anything an artist does just because I am a fan.
